FEEDS & RATION FORMULATION Spring 2017 INTRODUCTION Feeds represent the most expensive input cost for the livestock producer Expensive to maintain the animal Expensive if don't supply nutrient in adequate amounts to get good performance Expensive if overfeed nutrients relative to the animal's requirements INTRODUCTION Basic nutrients Water Protein Energy: fat and carbohydrates Minerals: macro and micro Vitamins: fat soluble and water soluble INTRODUCTION Important to understand most limiting nutrient concept: Animal performance Environment Balance Cost Feeds and ration formulation involves applications of the process of nutrient utilization: Ingestion prehension of feed, chewing and swallowing to the initial digestive organs Digestion reduction of food to utilizable form; physical and chemical processing of ingested food Absorption food is reduced to utilizable form; transported from inside the digestive tract to the blood stream active transport passive diffusion Metabolism Biological Functions that Require Nutrients Maintenance: "the maintaining of an animal in a state of well being or good health from day to day". A maintenance ration is the feed required to adequately support an animal doing no non-vital work, making no growth, developing no fetus, storing no fat or yielding no product. As much as 100% of an animal’s ration Maintenance Energy for vital functions: heart, respiratory, membrane transport energy expenditure gives off heat Maintain body temperature sources: heat from work of vital organs, heat from nutrient utilization, heat from work of normal activity, heat from economic work, heat from work of shivering Maintenance Protein for repair of tissue there is constant breakdown or turnover of body tissue protein excreted largely as urine N excreted as urine during starvation equals maintenance requirement for protein Minerals: some minerals excreted daily (not a problem) Vitamins Others: water, small amount of fats Growth: increase in muscle, bone, and connective tissue (accumulation of fat is not growth) Protein -- dry matter of muscle and connective tissue Energy Minerals -- especially calcium and phosphorus in young Vitamins Water -- free muscle tissue is about 75-80% water Fattening Deposition of unused energy in the form of fat Internal fat (around abdominal organs), intermuscular, subcutaneous Intramuscular fat Fattening versus growth: growth is easier to deposit muscle is mostly water fat may actually replace water 2.25 x's amount of energy in fat versus protein or carbohydrate nature of the growth curve for all animals Changes in body composition with increased age and weight of pigs age (days) 1 weight (kg) 1-2 17 2-2 28 7 89 25 age (days) weight (kg) 144 60 183 90 200 110 water protein fat ash Normal postnatal growth curves Figure 1.

Total Maturity Muscle Fat Mass Birth Bone Time Reproductive animals Milk production: Fetal development nutrient requirements are in proportion to amount of milk produced Major nutrients required are: energy, protein, Ca and P ***fetal requirement for nutrients is not great 83 lb calf (25% DM) = 22 lb of DM; which is only about 4 days of milk for the lactating animal importance of nutrition during late gestation may be preparation for lactation (and rebreeding in cattle) Others = wool, work, others Nutrients from a Feed Management Perspective (Chapter 3, Kellems and Church) Water Water - most crucial nutrient -- most immediately required 70% of lean body mass Can only lose 10% of body water Consume 3-4 times amount of water as dry matter (DM) Consume an amount of water which is needed to maintain homeostasis (GIT, blood) Water Functions transport (digesta, blood) urine -- media to excrete nitrogenous waste evaporative cooling rumen microbes Sources drinking water feed -- some feeds have up to 85% water metabolic water -- oxidation of nutrients to produce water Water Practical Applications water consumption is critical to maintain DM (nutrient) intake requires management during hot and cold weather requires management when high salt diets are fed Energy Energy is very difficult to measure quantitatively defined as calories -- amount of energy required to raise 1 g of water 1o C -- kilocalorie – megacalorie Carbohydrate: C6H12O6 + 6 O2 C:H:O 1:2:1 6 CO2 + 6 H2O Energy Energy - Carbohydrates Monosaccharides: Glucose -- primary sugar Fructose -- ketose, sweet, corn sweeteners Galactose Mannose Arabinose Xylose Ribose Energy – Carbohydrates - Polysaccharides Nonstructural carbohydrate (NSC) or non-fiber carbohydrate (NFC): mostly starch (some simple sugars), very extensively digested and/or fermented (90+ percent), not bulky Amylose Amylopectin: waxy grains, probably more extensively fermented ruminally Glycogen; animal energy storage; liver and skeletal muscle Amylose -1, 4 linkage CH2OH CH2OH OH OH H H H OH H O OH H OH H OH O O O O O O O O O O H OH O CH2OH OH H H H HO OH H O H OH O O Structure of starch: Amylopectin, showing 1:6 branch point 6 CH2OH 4 1 O 6 CH2OH O 4 1 6 CH2 O 1 4 6 CH2OH O 4 1 O O Energy – Carbohydrates - Polysaccharides Structural carbohydrate = fiber: less digestible even in the ruminant, very bulky - occupies much space in the GIT cellulose: primary carbohydrate in fiber, comprised solely of β-1,4 linked glucose, lowly digestible hemicellulose; secondary carbohydrate in fiber; made up of glucose, xylose, arabinose, mannose, galactose lignin -- most significant anti-nutritional factor • amorphous polyphenols • gives support to the cell wall structure • present in the "woody" plant parts • increase as plant matures Energy – Carbohydrates – Other Polymers Pectin -- plant cell wall cement Cutin - waxy coat of leaf surface Diagram of a plant cell showing cell wall structure Cell Content Protein Sugar Fats Starch Pectins Primary Wall Secondary Wall Hemicellulose Cell Wall Lignin Cellulose NDF ADF Energy – Structural Carbohydrates Chemical treatment - objective is to make the SC fraction of forage more digestible Ammoniation: anhydrous, aqua or urea • Untreated straw 42% digestible Ammoniated straw 55% digestible • Effectiveness depends on conditions during treatment • Alkaline hydrogen peroxide; oxidizes the lignin Ruminant system of carbohydrate digestion and absorption: Polysaccharide simple sugar absorbed 6 ME or Polysaccharide simple sugar fermented to VFA absorbed ME Ruminant system of carbohydrate digestion and absorption: Ruminant system of carbohydrate digestion and absorption: Propionic acid, most energy efficient VFA Propionic acid increased by: Feeding higher level of grain Feeding ionophores Ionophores (Rumensin and Bovatec): Acetic acid, propionic acid, no change in total VFA Feed:gain Methane production, bloat Ruminant system of carbohydrate digestion and absorption: Effect of feeding grain Ruminant system of carbohydrate digestion and absorption: Effect of feeding grain Energy – Lipids fat = glycerol + fatty acids triglyceride = glycerol + 3 fatty acids Common fatty acid length -- C14 to C20 very hydrogenated – energy saturated vs. unsaturated essential fats linoleic: C18-2 linolenic: C18-3 arachidonic: C20-4 Energy – Lipids Feed applications fats contain 2.25 x's energy per weight as CHO's -- CHO = 4 kcal/g; fat = 9 kcal/g increase the energy density of a ration; must be limited, usually 5-6% of ration as lipid for ruminant, 6-7% for monogastric reduce dustiness may increase palatability aid absorption of vitamin A,D,E,K may decrease absorption of Ca, Mg, Na Energy – Lipids Feed applications – continue fat will reduce fiber digestion in the rumen; commonly seen in the lactating dairy cow; restrict fat to about 6 percent of the total diet DM now have ruminally inert fats on the market to avoid lower fiber digestion; best to have a combination of fat from basal ingredients, an oil source such as whole cottonseed or full fat canola, and inert fat fat metabolism -- ketones -- ketosis Protein Most expensive nutrient per weight to supply Functions Muscle Enzymes Hormones Antibiotics skin, hair Amino acids are what is actually required by the animal -building blocks of protein Protein Protein digestion free AA absorption transported to the cell to synthesize a new protein for use by the animal Animal can not absorb an intact protein 21 naturally occurring AA 10 essential AA Protein Dietary Essential AA -- an amino acid required by an animal and can not be synthesized by the animal in the amounts needed; and therefore must be present and available in the diet Arginine Histidine Isoleucine Leucine Lysine Methionine – S-containing, Cystine may provide ½ the reqmt Phenylalanine -- tyrosine may provide ½ of the requirement Threonine Tryptophan Valine Nonessential AA -- required by the animal but can be produced in adequate amounts Limiting AA -- AA that is first depleted during protein synthesis Ruminant system of protein digestion and absorption ** dietary AA are not the same AA that are absorbed and used to synthesize animal protein Summary -- Advantages of the ruminant system º utilize fibrous feeds º utilize NPN º B vitamin production (plus vitamin K) Minerals Macro mineral (Ca, P, K, Na, Cl, S, Mg) Micro mineral ( Fe, Co, Cu, F, I, Mn, Mo, Se, Zn, …) sulfates more bio-available than oxides chelated (or proteonated) minerals (Zn, Mn, Cu, Fe, Se) may be beneficial, but are much more expensive Most recent is FDA approval of Se-methionine Cu, Se, Zn and Fe are now recognized to be important factors in immune function Ca, P and Mg needed in greatest abundance and most commonly supplemented Minerals Antagonists-an element which inhibits the absorption or transport of another element Minerals A.

Reactions occur between Mo and S enabling the formation of thiomolybdate compounds which will readily bind Cu. In the absence of rumen-available Cu (rumen-labile Cu), thiomolybdates are able to be absorbed through the rumen wall and small intestine, allowing them to bind to Cu-containing substances, including enzymes whose activity will be reduced, thus causing clinical problems often quoted as Cu deficiency, even though it is strictly a thiomolybdate toxicity. Gould and Kendall, 2011 Copper Toxicosis Sheep particularly sensitive to copper 5 ppm Cu Excessive Cu builds up in RBC, causing Heinz-body formation and methemoglobin production Can’t bind oxygen- chocolate blood Release of hemoglobin damages kidneys Avoid feeding cattle mineral Vitamin premixes Fat (A, D, E, K) vs. water soluble (B vitamins, C) Vitamin Premixes (0.5-1.0% of diet) Complete vitamin packages-may contain synthetic antioxidants to increase stability Loss of vitamins in feedstuffs Heat/humidity increase oxidation of A, E, thiamin, riboflavin and biotin Vitamin/mineral premixes less stable Vitamin supplementation Monogastric animals Corn-soy diet generally adequate in E, thiamin, B6, and biotin Pigs and poultry -supplement Vit A, D, E, K, niacin, riboflavin, pantothenic acid, B12 Horses Horses can meet B vitamin needs due to large production in LI (despite poor absorption) Vitamin supplementation Ruminants Vitamins C, D synthesized, and rumen bacteria make B vitamins and K Generally supplement Vitamin A, sometimes D recognize that young animals and ruminants without green forage (or fed stored forage) may respond to vitamin E supplementation; involved in immunity; injection or feed Concentration of fat soluble vitamins in colostrum is greater than in milk
